A control break program outputs a line for each input record (6 lines for the 6 input records) plus intermediate lines to indicate breaks between groups. There are breaks between John and Mary, and Mary and Sue, adding 2 more lines. Thus, the total is 6 (input lines) + 3 (intermediate lines for each group) = 9 lines.
